Iran's state-run PressTV claimed in 2009 that "an international Jewish conspiracy to kidnap children and harvest their organs is gathering momentum. (…) Bands of Moroccans and Algerians had been roaming the streets of Algerian cities in an attempt to hunt for young children. They then trafficked the kids across the border into neighboring Morocco. The children were then sold to Israelis and American Jews in Oujda, the capital of eastern Morocco, for the purpose of organ harvesting in Israel and the United States."
